Steel Salad Spinner

This is a great salad spinner. I use prepackaged salads that say they are washed, but I always get an upset stomach from them. I open the package, take out the inner package of dressing and then dump the solid mixture into the inner basket to be washed with water or a mixture of vinegar and water. The strainer basket is fine enough so that even with chopped salads 99% of the salad will stay within the basket and maybe only two or three little pieces will get stuck in the strainer so not a problem. There is no problem at all putting the top mechanism onto the strainer basket as some people have indicated, it’s quite easy. I am in my 70s and I have no problem operating the spinner so I can’t imagine why people have said they count under the top on the rotating basket.The bottom plastic piece is a sturdy polycarbonate that I think will wear quite well, and it provides a pivot point for the basket to spin on. Oxo even provided a finger slot so you can easily lift the bottom plastic beats out of the container to drain water. Since the spin mechanism is collapsible, it doesn’t take much room to store so I store it in the refrigerator to keep it cold for the next batch of salad. The brake mechanism works fine despite what some reviews have said, but normally I let the basket come to a stop by itself as I am preparing the dressing. After all, you bought it to spin so let it spin. So again-no problem. It is true, however, that the stainless steel bowl is rather thin and a bit flexible. But this does not inhibit the operation of the unit. I think the stainless steel ball is just engineered to be adequate and not add unnecessary steal an extra weight to the product. It is not built like a 1959 Buick Roadmaster, but more like a completely competent Honda Accord. If you make more salad than you can eat in one sitting, I recommend getting a universal, flexible silicone top to put on the stainless steel base to store your salad for the next meal.

It works awesome, durable, been using for 5 years, well worth the money

Very nice quality, sturdy, and feels built-to-last. The spinner works smoothly and dries greens quickly, making salad prep effortless. It’s easy to clean and large enough for family meals - overall a great kitchen tool.

I’ve had three other salad spinners over the years including the plastic OXO. I was always faced with the same problem, they crack overtime. I bought this one to hopefully be the last salad spinner I buy for a very long time but I’m not sure it is the one. The positives: The size is perfect for washing any and all produce, I like that the stainless steel bowl can double as a salad bowl, very simple to use. The negatives: The stainless steel bowl is thin. I was expecting it to be a little thicker but it’s pretty flimsy. If you have anything inside it make sure you pick it up with both hands. I fear it will warp over time resulting in the same issue I’ve been having with plastic salad spinners. The spinner parts are also a little less quality than what I was expecting for the price. They are all plastic and I am not sure how long the mechanisms will last. Overall it’s still a solid salad spinner and I’m glad I bought it instead of another plastic one. I just hope it holds up.

I love it. You can was the lettuce right in it. Then remove the basket, dump the rinse water, then put the basket with the lettuce in it back and spin it. You can even use the stainless steel bowl to serve the salad and store leftovers.

I ordered this salad spinner to replace A plastic oxo salad spinner that I bought about 12 years ago. The old salad spinner still worked, but the spinning mechanism just wasn’t spinning fast enough to get my lettuce as dry as I like. The only real difference between the new salad spinner and the old one is the metal work bowl, which I really like. The new metalwork bowl feels sturdy without being too heavy. An improvement over the old spinner is the ease in which the spinner lid separates into the two basic components, for easy cleaning (see my photo). The old lid was very tricky to separate and clean, but the new lid could not be easier. It just snaps on and off. The performance of the new salad spinner is excellent. With very little effort the salad spinner spins like a top, throwing off the water of my salad greens, making salad preparation really easy. Cleaning the salad spinner is extremely easy as well. Although I do recommend hand drying the metal bowl immediately after washing so that water spots don’t develop on the bowl. If you don’t mind water spots, then let it air dry and that makes cleanup that much easier. Overall, this is an excellent product that I highly recommend.

OXO never disappoints. I love the fact that this one is stainless steel because it keeps it from staining or getting scratched. Aesthetically appealing too! Quality is great

I hate this model of OXO metal salad spinner. I have had many generations and sizes of the OXO salad spinners because I truly feel they are the best out there. With that being said, this particular model comes with a stupid removable plastic disk in the bottom of the bowl that the strainer rotates on. When you go to empty out the water from spinning it, it falls out into the sink. If you want to spin your salad again to get it really dry you have to somehow drain the bowl without that falling out. The model before this one had the spike the strainer rotates on built into the metal bowl so no extra part to fall into the dirty sink. I also feel like this model does not spin the salad as dry as previous models. I actually went back to my old model with the cracked lid because it simply works better. When I go to buy a new OXO salad spinner I am buying the plastic model that has the spike molded into the plastic so no separate pieces to fall out.

Buon articolo, svolge perfettamente la funzione per cui è stato realizzato. Ne consiglio l'acquisto

I absolutely love this salad spinner. I have had it for a few years now and it still works really great. Cannot recommend it enough. It's not small, and takes up a bit of space in the cupboard. Really nice solid construction with the stainless steel. It's heavy too. It goes really fast and spins the salad well. Super easy to use. Genuinely I think the best salad spinner i have ever used

Perfect product Very well making Works perfect

OXO Good Grips Good Grips Steel Salad Spinner Best salad spinner money can buy. I am DONE with plastic spinners. They crack in a year of use. They cost 30-40$ and i have to buy a new spinner annually. Finally mustered up the guts to buy this stainless steel spinner. So far, this is the best spinner by far. You get what you pay for. Unless the LID itself breaks, I probably wont buy another spinner again. See video review for how it works. -- bottom heavy, rubbery base, keeps spinner in place on countertop (can double as mixing bowl too) -- rock solid bowl easy to clean -- as you'd expect for Stainless steel -- spinner with one push, is often sufficient -- inside colander is better plastics than 30-40$ spinners -- no silly clamps to secure the lid on -- it just stays on by gravity

great salad spinner works as intended very sturdy unit
